I have a cardboard headliner on loan from a GTI. I will be using it to make a pattern.
I also have the pillar trim cardboard on loan, so I'll be cutting all of these out of thin masonite this weekend hopefully.

I plan on lining both sides of the masonite with foam, then covering the whole thing with vinyl. I haven't decided if I want to use black vinyl or something else just yet.

I will also be relocating the dome light and upgrading it to something with reading lights, and removing the rearview mirror from the glass and seeking out something custom to mount to the header.

yup there's a cardboard bit that goes on the B pillars.
as far as the A pillars go, they should have been skinned with vinyl.
I am seeking out a late [bonded windshield] pair of plastic A pillar trims for those.

yup now they're texture black. i did the A pillars and up over the top of the doors where the unfinished gold paint was. now, when I do the headliner, any gappage that might remain will be hidden. I'll post up pics this weekend. Saturday is PNP day! Gonna go look for some solid black visors plus other random bits.

tonight, pulled the rear carpet back up. trimmed down the underlayments so the chairs will slide better, and decided to rattlecan the seat tracks so the gold doesnt bling thru the carpet. i know there's supposed to be a seat track trim, but they always end up broken. relaid the rear carpet, the fit's definitely better.

picked up a 4' x 6' horse stall mat today. $40. cut it to fit the bed as a mat. these things weigh about #100.

observations

these things are a bitch to cut. sabre saw and you have to have a rigid backing behind the blade.
the truck rides better because there's some weight over the rear axle
the truck is quieter... it's like a giant dynamat
this stuff is definitely nonskid. bonus.
